7 Claims. (Cl. 20G-46) chart 14 along the nail, a quick comparison may be made between the natural tint of the finger nail and the series of tints shown on the chart 14, and a selection of the proper tint of nail polish may-be readily made. 'I'he chart may then be reinserted into the carton Without disturbing the bottle of nail polish therein.

It is of course possible to print these varying shades on the carton itself, but this does not give as convenient a means for comparing the tint ofA the finger nail with the tints shown, and besides this, lit is a source of great economy to print the graduated colors on a separate insert than on the carton itself. By doing this, a paper most appropriate to showing these colors, may be chosen forv the insert whereas such paper may be quite unsuitable for constructing the carton itself.

It is evident that changes may be made in the form of insert, in the shape of the carton, and in the shape of the openings therein, without departing from .the spirit of my invention.
